Introduction

We know that the I/O Pin of Raspberry Pi is limited. So Raspberry comes with LED dot matrix screen, it would be more trouble. But use special LED constant current control chip, basically only takes Raspberry Pi SPI interface (3 IO + 2 enabled) you can control 64 LED lights. LED dot matrix drivers become possible! This dot-matrix-led-display module is compatible with any version of Raspberry Pi. We will provide you with installation package, source code and quickstart guide PDF to help you step by step, so don’t worry!

Specification

Support all versions of Raspberry Pi
Driver Chip : MAX7219
Dot Matrix Type: 8x8 common cathode red dot matrix
Matrix Size:64.3*35.0*26.5mm

Connection Diagram

Plug it directly into Raspberry Pi to start your works as shown in below figure.

Sample Code

// blink.c
//
// Example program for bcm2835 library
// Blinks a pin on an off every 0.5 secs
//
// After installing bcm2835, you can build this 
// with something like:
// make or gcc -o led led.c -lbcm2835
// sudo ./led

Program Writing

1.Installing bcm-2835 Library

Here is the tutorial for installing bcm-2835 library in Raspberry Pi. To install bcm-2835, first we need to download bcm2835 library. So we will provide an installation package or click its office web http://www.airspayce.com/mikem/bcm2835/ to download it.
Step1:- Now after downloading library, copy it in any folder of your raspberry pi by winSCP(we provide its installation package, but please refer to usage by yourselves).
Step2:- Now it’s time to extract the library, so open terminal of raspberry pi and go to the folder where you have copied your library and type this command: tar zxvf bcm2835-1.26.tar.gz
Step3:- Now to into library folder, type this command: cd bcm2835-1.26
Step4:- Now, we are ready to install bcm2835 library, so to start installation type this command: ./configure
Step5:- then type this command: make
Step6:- then this: sudo make check
Step7:- and finally this: sudo make install
Congrats your library is installed. Now use “#include <bcm2835.h>” in your program to use bcm2835 library.

2.Programming

Now its time to write a program. Copy the file rpi_Dot-matrix provided by us and put it into the directory rpi_shield through winSCP. Next , type this command: cd rpi_Dot-matrix to go inside the rpi_Dot-matrix folder. Then type this command: make to make an executable file. This means this is the file we run to launch the program as shown in below figure.
Finally type this: sudo ./Dot_matrix to launch the program.

Test Result

The dot matrix will display letters “IJ” as shown in below figure. Use Ctrl+C to exit the processing program.

Sudo ./Dot_matrix
